Using the Facebook iOS SDK I can display a dialog with apprequests and send it. Delegate method -dialogDidComplete: gets called, but the recipient(s) receive no notification or request of any kind. If they have the app authorized, Facebook.app (for iOS) will display a number of pending requests next to the app bookmark, but notification jewel doesn’t get updated and notification is nowhere to be found and Facebook.app doesn’t display any push notifications.
I have followed Facebook’s own tutorial for this and even tried with their own sample project Hackbook, but I get the same result every time.
Am I missing something in app settings or is this simply not working as described in the (poor) documentation?
I can see Path app implemented this and it works pretty well on my devices with my accounts so I guess I really did skip something. Adding a bounty in hope of a solution.
Found an explanation that helped me fix this here: http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/a/8211249/184561
When a user clicks on an app request, Facebook takes them to your Facebook canvas page. If you don’t have a canvas page, the requests don’t show up.
As soon as I added a canvas url (one that didn’t even work), the requests started showing up.
